K is for Knitting!

Over the years 
I've been quite partial to a bit of knitting 
Not that I am any good mind you
For the last ten years 
My Mother and I have been trying to make a blanket 
Knitting squares of different wool
To see together to make said blanket
We have gone through phases of knitting over the years
And recently 
We have taken it up again
It's easy really 
We just knit squares of plain rows
No fancy schmancy stitches 
My repertoire does not reach beyond plain stitch 
Id say we do about an hour each a night of knitting 
We take it out when we are watching TV
Or chatting in the living room
I find it really relaxing 
And it passes the time 
Every so often I make some sort of mistake 
And have to hand it to my Mother to fix
My mothers knitting is very neat and tight
Mine is more loose and messy
But it's ok
It will give the blanket character I guess
At least that's what I'm telling myself

Here is said knitting....

  1. i have to say that that's very nice!

    what do you mean you're not good at it? i think it's brilliant. it's way more than i can do.

    good luck on finishing that blanket together! it'll definitely be a special blanket with a lot of sentimental value to it, which is the best kind of blanket :)

  2. The knitting looks pretty nice to me! My brother tried to teach me to knit when he was 12, but I could never grasp it. I bet that blanket will looks gorgeous when it's finished.

    1. I hope it will Mich
      And the lovely thing is that everyone who comes in to the house does a little bit
      So it's really a family affair

      Looking forward to seeing the mushroom cottage!!
      Can't wait! X

  3. Knitting has saved my life many times. Just having something to do with my hands in waiting rooms and hospitals. It's a lovely hobby and you just keep at it.

  4. Hello,
    Here from the A-Z and enjoyed reading. I knitted loads when my child was young, now do it occasionally. Very relaxing, the repetitive movements, great stress buster!

    Best wishes for the rest of the A-Z.

  5. Very cool! I've always wanted to learn how to knit, but for some reason, it just doesn't gel with me. Needles and yarn end up getting thrown across the room. I think I'll just stick to sewing and needlepoint!

    1. Believe me Bella
      I have flung my knitting around many times in sheer frustration
      And I wouldn't get very far only for my mum who fixes it when I get in to bother
      You are good with your hands
      So I'd say you would be great at it
      But patience is needed
      And I am not great at that
      I will persevere though.... X

  7. Hi, I am a USA citizen, am here to testify how i got my Ex back with the help of this God-sent called Dr Unity for the great things he has done in my life.. First of all i want to thank mareen for the post she made on how Dr Unity helped her in bringing back her lover. At first when i saw the posting i was so happy and in the other hand so scared,That this might not be real, Then i decided to give it a try in which i contacted Dr Unity and told him how my lover left me for another lady for the past 3years and i have been lonely and depressed without him,So i asked him if he has helped anyone called mareen and he said yes, that was the lady he helped in bringing back her lover. I said good and i told him that if he can help me in bringing back my own lover,He laughed and said once i have contacted him that my problem will be solved.He said that my lover will be back to me within 48hours, Truly when the 48hours was completed i got a text from someone saying am sorry, then i decided to call the number i saw it was my lover Steve voice.i was so happy he was begging me and crying on phone, That he is ready to do anything that will make me happy in life,So i told him to come over which he did,As he was coming he came with a brand new Car as gift. i am so happy today with the help of Dr Unity. He has proven to me that he is not going to leave me for another lady again and stay with me forever, Am so happy today and am also thanking mareen for posting this early.Dr Unity you are truly a man of your word. He can also any kind of sickness and he can solve any kind of problems in this world. Friends i believe Dr Unity is a man to trust and believe on. You don't need to cry anymore Dr Unity has been sent to clean our tears you can contact him on his Email:( Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or cell phone +2348072370762).
